Uh, we discussed this sort of thing about a week and a half ago. SR is
NOT cashless. Never has been. Every government issues some sort of
paper currency (UCAS dollars for example) and all of the Big 8 corps
issue their own corporate scrip. This paper money probably is the
currency for most illegal transactions, otherwise certified credsticks
will do.

Now if you still want to run your own little Shadowrunners Market and
barter, then fine, it's your game. But SR is NOT cashless...
